Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

If he remembered correctly, Xixiang's family had a full-time housewife and two children under the age of three, and he himself was laid off by the company not long ago.

Such people are generally very cautious when spending money.

But...

He, Nobuyuki Kayaba, successfully got Saigo to pay!

Not only did he pay nearly 20 million yen before, but today he also agreed to pay another 5 million yen no matter what!

Although if this happens, the Saigo family will probably not have a good ending...but what does that have to do with his Kayaba?

He is amazing to be able to squeeze every last drop of oil out of such a person!

No, I should say that this stuff is just too awesome!

He stroked the watch on his wrist as if he was touching his lover's body.

With this set of stuff, he is invincible!

I'm so excited! Haha!

Kayaba Nobuyuki grinned, his lips opened to an abnormally exaggerated degree, his facial features squeezed into mountains and rivers, and his twenty-eight white teeth stood out grimly under the light, as if he had just run out of the Baki comics.

"boss!"

Suddenly there was a voice behind him. He suddenly retracted his expression, turned around, and saw it was his secretary Ozawa.

"what happened?"

"There is a Mr. Aso who wants to see you."

In the top floor conference room.

"My name is Aso, and I am an investment consultant at the Ocean Financial Exchange..."

Wearing an expensive suit and a new look, Hoshino Hideyuki respectfully handed over his business card with both hands.

Nobuyuki Kayaba stared at Hoshino's face for a while, took the business card and handed it to his secretary Ozawa.

"Sales promotion? I'm sorry, I'm not very interested in investing recently."

"It doesn't matter. Just listen to me for a few words."

Hoshino Hideyuki did not give up. He followed Kayaba's footsteps and said with a smile: "Have you heard of stablecoin investment?"

“It’s something that’s pegged to a fiat currency, and serves as a bridge between Bitcoin and fiat currency, right?”

Before anyone could continue, Kayaba Nobuyuki answered first.

Hoshino Hideyuki was a little surprised, but he immediately adjusted his smile and continued: "Yes, many of our customers have been very interested in this recently. It is highly confidential and profitable..."

“However, didn’t the Western Eight countries just expose the Moon Coin incident last year? It is said that a large number of investors lost all their money. Now you come to me to sell stablecoins and say that the profits are huge... You are just like a fraudster.”

As he spoke, Kayaba Nobuyuki pointed at Hoshino Hideyuki and secretly tapped his watch.

Hoshino Hideyuki was silent for half a second, his eyes gradually dulled, and he replied:

"Indeed, I am a fraudster..."

Chapter 9: The clever fox will deceive itself

"…But I think the target of the fraud is not you, but those who covet your property."

In the second half of the sentence, Hoshino Hideyuki changed the subject.

Kayaba Nobuyuki asked, "Oh? Why do you say that?"

“First of all, please don’t compare us with the stupid coins created by the Western Eight countries using algorithms. The stablecoins selected by our exchange are all backed by real assets, and are regularly audited and publicly reported every year, so they are extremely stable.”

"Secondly, and most importantly, we can not only provide profits, but also provide concealment. As long as the money is invested in us, neither the police nor the Financial Services Department will be able to find any clues... You can read these for details."

Hoshino Hideyuki brought a stack of documents to Kayaba's desk.

“With our help, no one can drool over your property anymore.”

Kayaba Nobuyuki raised his eyebrows: "Concealment? Why do you think I need this?"

"Normally I wouldn't say this to a client, but Mr. Kayaba, your training company has only been established for less than a year, and the fees are so high... Of course, I'm not saying that your business is illegal, I just think you might get in trouble."

Hoshino Hideyuki looked a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, what I said was a little..."

"No, it's okay. I like honest people."

Kayaba Nobuyuki smiled and put away the stack of documents.

"I'll go find out. Thank you for your introduction."

Wait until Hoshino Hideyuki leaves.

Secretary Xiaoze stepped forward and said, "I checked the company on this guy's business card. It has a dedicated website and looks like it's quite big..."

"Of course I know him, although he may not remember me."

Kayaba Nobuyuki tapped his temple and said, "Aso Goku, a well-known investment consultant. I saw him walking with a few congressmen while playing golf three months ago. His face was full of smugness at the time, which was unforgettable..."

……However.

Even such an elite.

I played you around with my hands today too...

As he spoke, Kayaba Nobuyuki's eyebrows raised again.

Xiaoze asked: "So his identity is fine, then should we invest?"

"Just throw 10 million in there."

Kayaba Nobuyuki waved his hand: "We are not being targeted right now, and we have no shortage of ways to process money, so we don't need to spend too much on this."

"Yes."

Outside the shopping mall.

Hoshino Hideyuki just walked out the door.

"Mr. Kayaba's aura is really amazing. He accidentally said a lot of truths that he shouldn't have said."

“But it’s great that he finally wanted to learn about our products.”

"Let me think about it. Next, I should go to President Mitsui's banquet. What's the exact location... oh, I wrote it down in my memo."

He muttered to himself, opened the memo on his phone, and saw the sentence at the top.

[When I saw this sentence, all the mirror-viewing skills I used on myself became ineffective]

"what?"

"What is this about looking at flowers in a mirror...hiss!"

Hoshino Hideyuki suddenly felt dizzy and subconsciously went into a nearby alley. After a while, his eyes became clear again.

At the same time, his high-end suit turned into an ordinary sweatshirt and sweatpants, and his face returned to its original young and handsome appearance.

"It's like a dream..."

That's right.

Before meeting Kayaba Nobuyuki, Hoshino Hideyuki hypnotized himself by looking at flowers in the mirror!

He had guessed in advance that with such a powerful illusion barrier, Kayaba Nobuyuki would not be able to resist using illusion to test anyone suspicious he met.

It's as obvious as the lonely female knight in the other world would kidnap the poor goblin.

But he was not sure he could withstand this temptation.

So, he came up with this crooked trick - I deceived myself first, so when you hypnotize me to tell the truth, what I say are just lies that I think are true!

Coincidentally, the person he was going to impersonate this time, Aso Goku, was a real person with rich background material, so it was very convenient to pretend!

To be on the safe side, he hypnotized himself more than once, but created three different personalities from shallow to deep, and hypnotized himself three times to prevent his vision from being discovered.

Of course, everything has risks.

If even so, Kayaba Nobuyuki still notices that something is wrong, then Hoshino Hideyuki will have to admit defeat.

But fortunately, the plan worked.

After resting for a while in the alley, Hoshino Hideyuki began to carefully review his memories.

Ok……

A little weird.

There are three layers of character design, but in the end, only the surface layer is used? In other words, Kayaba Nobuyuki didn't see through even one layer of the mirror...

And why did he check his watch? This action was very abrupt and conspicuous, and there was no Maori Kogoro nearby for him to shoot at...

This performance is quite different from that of an illusion master...

A different guess emerged in Hoshino Hideyuki's mind.

Just as he was thinking, his cell phone rang.

"Mosimoxi?"

"Hideyuki, I just got the news that your fake account received 10 million yen."

The caller was Inuyama Tetsu.

"Did your fraud succeed?"

"It's far from enough. It's only 10 million. It's not even enough to fulfill my promise to Ichichi."

Hoshino Hideyuki paused and replied with a smile:

"However, we have indeed taken the first step, and that guy... well, maybe he is not as difficult to deal with as we thought before."

"Why are you so confident all of a sudden? Don't let your car fail because you underestimate the enemy."

"Thanks for the warning. I will be more careful."

"That's good, what are your plans next?"

"Let's eat sukiyaki."

"what?"

"Eat Sukiyaki, that's the plan... I've been thinking about how to deal with Kayaba these days. I have to work four hours a day on average. I'm already very tired. I need to relax."

"How can you call yourself tired?"

Snapped.

Hoshino Hideyuki hung up the phone with his part-time worker and immediately started looking for a delicious sukiyaki place.

This dish is essentially Japanese hot pot. The high-quality beef dipped in eggs and sauce is quite suitable for the taste of this fox.

However, eating hotpot alone always feels a bit boring.

And the waiting process is so unbearable. It would be great if I could eat ready-made food as soon as I get in.

Have it.

Hoshino Hideyuki picked up the phone again.

“Sorry, I don’t plan to buy…”

"Good afternoon, Miss Ijichi, it's me~"

"what!"

On the other side, Ijichi Kikuri recognized someone from the familiar voice.

"Oh, sorry, I thought it was another sales pitch. Um, you called me, is there any progress..."

"Almost there, but there is still a crucial step that needs your help."

"Please say!"

"Please go to Daimonji Sukiyaki and order a wagyu set meal and add pork slices. And don't put cilantro in it. I can't eat it. Thank you."

"what?"

"That store seems to be quite far from your home, so please get dressed and go out now. It's best to get there within 40 minutes."

"what?!"
